Fibre optics

Wear-free and EMC dependable data transfer

The data signals are transmitted optically,
i.e. contactless, via glass or plastic fibre. Additional repeaters can also be
incorporated if the customer so wishes. Thanks to the extremely good EMC and
attenuation properties, data can be transmitted trouble-free even in critical
welding systems.

Depending
on the data bus (Interbus/Profinet etc.), various MR repeaters are used which
in some cases allow online diagnosis in the customer’s system.
All the versions shown here can be combined with other MR products and encased
up to IP 68!
